Jesus Christ. He's on everything but skates.

one time I was on a train at night. and some guy took out his penis and started masturbating while staring me down. Another guy told him to put it away and then stood in between us so the creep couldn't see me. Then when we got off the train the guy who helped me asked me out on a date. That was also bad bad…

I sure hope some white congressional staffers made the trek out of the building and just failed to make it into that photo.

Great. Now I have to find a new restaurant for my lunch date with Sir Mix-A-Lot......

I have a huge ass, and I fricking move. But I'm half Russian so, you know, shit ain't gonna steal itself.

I've always found it ironic that we white people always seem to accuse the people we force (whether literally or through dearth of alternative employment) to do our most difficult, menial tasks of laziness. Blacks are lazy? Who the fuck performed manual labor of unspeakable difficulty for centuries without pay?…

You are so correct in stating that we (people of colour) were never offended by racists before Gawker came into existence...

A fetal heartbeat can be detected at six weeks. It is fast, loud and not up for interpretation.

Look, I'm not always a fan of some of the new-agey nonsense you hear from some doulas, but a trained midwife is actually quite useful, and would likely have been very capable of handling the situation had a doctor not been on hand. Though doulas sometimes have a rep for being too weird/crazy/nature-focused/whatever, I…

Jesus fuck, no kidding. They'd have delivered the baby safely, then taken over the galley to make a nourishing pot of stew that would be tasty and sit well in Mom's sensitive tummy. THEN, they would have swaddled the shit out of that little bambino and tucked her right up to mom, providing gentle guidance and…

Yeah but if we outlaw abortion God will finally be happy with us again and bless us with wealth, military domination of the world, greater moral superiority than we already have, and deportation of all the goddamn Mexicans.

That's exactly what they think. A member of my family believes that black people are genetically prone to violence and lower intelligence. He said that race was technically a factor, but not racism because black people are just like that. It's fucking disgusting.

I know, I thought American Eagle closed down too.

I meant in a way that detaches the body itself from the humanity associated with it. If I said "black people," that adds a personality, but "black bodies" distills the intimidation that many white people feel down to a purely physical level.

Most of my impression of the debate about this is based on internet comments, but from what I can tell most of the people who refuse to see the racial aspect of this are engaging in victim-blaming. They're all convinced that if the victims had behaved differently, the outcome would have been different. This is…

One of the scariest things about this is that if you don't think these killings and grand jury decisions have to do with race, you probably see the differences in how black people are treated by the police and the justice system - more arrests, harsher sentences, more likely to get brutalized or killed by police…

This might be hard to believe but the media and societal demonization of black people as thugs who are always more dangerous and animalistic than white people means that many people in society, including black people, are more afraid and violent towards people of color than they would be towards white people. This is…

It's funny to me how many conservatives I know are so pissy pants about TEH GUBMENT and MAH TAX MONIES and MAH FREEDUMB, but then turn around and go, "Oh, you should listen to the police without question, they're there to protect you."

It goes to the mentality of too many police officers. Those who have gone into law enforcement because they have a need to dominate and control, rather than protect and serve.

amen amen amen amen, you need to stay chill if someone is shooting at you. IF SOMEONE YELLING AT YOU ENRAGES YOU ENOUGH TO KILL YOU ARE NOT FIT FOR THE JOB OF A POLICE OFFICER. nor are you fit for the following
